Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

You'd think so, but no... Well, not without a bunch of work. I'd have to open the outer windows.

I could do that and leave the internal doors closed while opening the outer doors and it'd suck the heat out overnight. It's just a bunch of work.

I'm just gonna get fucking A/C. I'll call on Monday and see what an expert says.

I was wondering about the opening of windows situation in an envelope house like you have. You have windows on the interior walls and then a little tunnel like 2 or 3 feet to the exterior wall with another window, is that right?

No tunnels. In some areas there's a broad shelf (on the 2nd floor) that connects the two - similar to the upper balcony doors.

To open the outside windows, I gotta fancy stick that hooks into hooks and then spins around to crank open the windows. It's a good couple of hours worth of fucking around to do it. It's a pretty big house.

In a month or so, the basement will be cool (that too holds heat) and I can circulate the water from my boiler system and get cool water moving through the house. That's all well and good - until it gets hot. Once it gets hot, that's not nearly as effective.

So I am thinking if you have a boiler system that you use to heat your home. Does that mean that you do not have the air ducts that a forced air system has? That will make it much more expensive to add central air conditioning
